Pandora, with her cubs Jakkar and Sylvia in tow, walks through the still smouldering ashes of a terrible fire that has wiped out the forests near their home.. They walk in saddened stunned silence as the ash drifts lazily around them..

Wow! A lot of expression, emotion and feeling in this one...It makes you feel like you want to extend a blanket to wrap around them for cold and comfort.
As someone mentioned before, I also like the cub carrier :) I always think it's neat to think about how taurs would handle things with their unique anatomy and such.
Awesome job! :)

It's a beutiful and tragic piece indeed. The expressions are just perfect, as is the juxtiposition of the burnt out forest with snow.
I do have one slight niggle though.. if it's smouldering shouldn't there be some trailing smoke? Even a little steam from the snow on glowing wood?
I must say, I feel like all eyes are going to be glaring at me for making a negative comment about this awsome piece. o_o;;

What a rich picture. The atmosphere, which is one of my favorite things in any image, is so perfect; you've captured that eerie stillness, and thier expressions convey the numb shock/confusion. This seems like a story on it's own right; where are you getting these ideas? Is there a story attached to it?
I have been to the sean of a western forest fire. You have the mood well captured. That impresses me with the details of what I remember so different, the ground was black and hot the heat went through the soles of my shoes. The sky brown and red with very little ash near the fire. Wear it burned hottest was mostly scrub and brush leaving the small charred standing trees and fallen wood much as you have pictured. In the deep forest the columns of charred tree trunks put me in mind of a bombed cathedral. I returned two years later to find the area in meadow and willow with more wild life than I had ever seen their. The naturalist told me that the new growth that follows a fire provides more food than the forest did.
Its okay with me if people want to download and save my work - and as long as they dont alter the piece or remove the watermark, I'm okay with them distributing it, too.
I make the display scans big enough to see most things, but not big enough to not appreciate the benefits of buying a print. I figure most fans of my work will probably (if they collect prints) buy only their very favorite works - or want something done especially for them (commission) - and having nice free sample images seems to me like pretty good advertising. You can't hope to get much if you aren't willing to give some, too =). Those are my thoughts...

Okay =D. There is a little bit of a wait right now, but feel free to email me at kacey[at]otonashi.net with your description, and I can give you a quote =).
this is so beautiful. i am gonna give ya more company.. I am gonna slap this up on some of my groups and my Yahoo 360 page with this site address to your name. ^_^ because this just needs to be seen. i love this work and it is stunning... it took my breath away. i have been looking at it for a good.. 10 mins just aw struck by the beauty and detail.... Keep it up.. Fave and watch. ya are top on my list kid.
When first I saw this picture, my mate just showed it to me. I did not note a title, I just looked at it.
My first reaction was an 'aww cute' walking in the fresh snow as it falls... This was partly because I love snow, and all things snowy!
Then... I realized, they look sad, scared even. That didn't fit... then I saw the embers. The realization was instant heartbreak. The expressions, they tell the whole story. The little boy.... he is trying his hardest to be strong... but he is scared. The mother... she doesn't know what they will do, and the little one... was the hardest to read, not because of artistic clarity, but because it was the most painful. Such a sad fear, sadness, and just a whisker from terror, as something so terrible has happened as to make her mother so frightened.
So often children can feed off the emotion of their parents, and this was such a clear case... she is scared, worried, and you can almost see her heart racing. The whole thing paints a horror, a deep rooted fear and loathing. A deep worry about the future.
All in all, it is a very well communicated piece, that truly is more than 1000 words!
